James,
The masach, the screen that you are referring to is a spiritual organ. You have an eardrum and waves strike your eardrum and that is how you perceive sound. Sound does not travel into an empty hole on our head, the sound waves strike the eardrum.
Similarly the world is full of Light but we don’t have a screen (“eardrum”) for the spiritual light to strike so that we can perceive it.
Another example is sunlight, it travels millions of miles through space…so why is space dark between earth and the sun? Because we don’t see the light until it hits a screen, then we can perceive the light, before that, it is there for all of those millions of miles but we can’t see it.So we don’t have a button to push or a mantra to say to make the screen turn on. It is built over through our efforts in the study and in the Kabbalistic group to draw upon us the influence of the upper light which changes our nature slowly slowly from egoistic intentions to altruistic intentions. When our intention changes to be altruistic then we have a screen that is letting us feel the spiritual qualities.
Seth@KabULiss,
You are approaching the answer with your present mind.
You will not feel spirituality with you mind of today.
It is like a child understanding the emotions of the parents.
But in general, through the process of studying and working in the group of kabbalists, we grow our desire for the Light until we have a true desire for the light.
We are today in a field of endless light, but like a child sitting next to the parents, the little one does not have the vessels to feel all of the other things that are happening.
By making our desire more loving, we become like the Creator, when we become like Him in our intention, His light shines in our vessel and we feel spirituality fulfillment.
Seth@KabUPrecilia,
The desire comes from the Creator and it develops towards a spiritual birth.
In the same way that a mango seed will not become an apple.
A point in the heart will become a spiritual person.
What is in our hands is to plant ourselves in an environment where that seed can be nourished and grow in a healthy way, or if we will advance over a long period of time of making many mistakes finding our way.
Seth@KabUPVJ,
The books of kabbalah speak to us about laws of nature from the root level. The Creator is one force that operates using two reins, right & left, or + & -, or male & female, or most common and most clearly the Giver/fulfillment & the desire/deficiency.
All of creation, all the universe, everything is considered female in relation to the light of the Creator that fills all of reality with life.

Ulises,
We don’t give any advice regarding yours or someone else’s medical treatment.
We are engaging here only in the natural laws of nature as written to us in the books of the kabbalists.We are lucky people, we have a place to live, we have food, we have the internet. All of the conditions are met for us to take our next step.
We are not in the field farming every day or hunting. No one is chasing us into a cave.
Now you can come and sit and study the wisdom of kabbalah like a person coming to kindergarten. Just participate even though you don’t understand.
If you try to apply your normal OCD ways of thinking and the other anxieties, you won’t hear or feel what we are studying.
If you remember how a radio works, the room you are in is filled with all of the waves of the radio stations, you take the radio and tune the radio to one of the frequencies that is in the room and then you can hear that one.
When you study the wisdom of kabbalah, tune into the kabbalists and what they are writing. It does not need to make sense to you, you don’t need to own it and master it.
Then when you are done studying, go back to however you are living.
This is a good first step.
Seth@KabUPeter,
Is this quote from the lesson material this week?Regarding your question, the Creator created a will to receive.
That is our matter. When our desire is filled, , we know within our reason, that it is good. When we feel fulfilled, we know that it is good. We are no longer deficient, we are now filled.
This is like an animal who is led by his desires, he just moves to fill his desires and he has no free choice in this.
On the other hand, when our kli feels empty, we have to use a power above our reason to feel that the Creator is good. This is called faith above reason. The Creator is felt by the power of faith. So there is the filling of the empty vessel which is a pleasure and there is the connection to the Giver which is a great spiritual pleasure.
The work between reason and faith is called the work in two lines, by these two legs we advance.
